The game pre serves are considered an admirable ( method of propagating game and have maintained birds which would otlicr j wise have been exterminated. The question of a natural food supply for the birds in winter is giving great con cern. Pennsylvania's bounty system is con sidered the best in the land and there lias been an increase in claims. The office dealt sharply with many frauds during the year and the game | protectors were successful in all but ] twenty out of 72(> cases, although en | countering difficulties in enforcing the law prohibiting aliens from having lirearms and dogs. Dr. Kalbfus declares for simpler j game laws, lie favors a codification I and believes that the present laws I could be. reduced a fourth. None of | the-game birds can sand a longer sea ! son than one month. The State, he I says, has bought game for propagation | from other places, including 5,000 j quail from Mexico, but if the. farmers of the State, whom he says derive I most benefit from the life work of the quail were to take an interest in the birds in winter time a closed season would be all right. The birds were bought from pro ceeds of the hunters' license, law and Dr. Kaibfus says that 'luail can not he secured from any State now and that Mexico is the only jjlaee. Dr. Kaibfus says that the shooting of all game should be forbidden be fore daylight, especially wild turkeys and that strict efforts should be made to capture men who use turkey calls. Rabbit hunting, says the secretary, is the poor man's sport. "I believe," says he, "that fully three-fourths of the hunters of the State arc rabbit hunters and that the more rabbits we have the less birds will be killed by men." He also says that rabbits are the prey of animals which would otherwise attack poultry and that in some counties rabbits being prop agated, while in other counties they need to bo thinned out. The secretary notes that there are now eighteen game preserves and that the plan to establish a quail pre serve near New Germantown had to be abandoned because leases could not be obtained. The tracts being worked upon for establishing this year are in Blair, Uedford. Huntingdon, Clear field, Cumberland and Susquehanna. Somerset.

Regarding deer raiding orchards and farms lie says that lie lias had com plaints iind the office would not prose cute if the deer were shot in the hind end* with fine shot so long as serious or fatal injury was not inflicted on the animal. In relation to bounty frauds he says that he is satisfied the State was I mulcted by frauds, but that every ! thing can not lie uncovered in spite of efforts made. [ The report says that 30 of 102 men accidentally shot during the hunting season were killed against list shot and 29 killed in 1915. The great ma jority were hurt by careless use of firearms. It is estimated that 400,000 men went hunting and that 3,200,000 rabbits were shot with 000,000 sijuir- I rels, 4,000 wild turkeys, 20,000 quail, i 10,000 woodcock, over 150,000 I grouse, 20,000 raccoons, and 2,000 ! male deer and GO to 100 female deer illegally shot.

F. liaupp Poultry investigator and Pathologist For United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural experts estimate that almost ten million dollar.-- is lost an nually by ciseases of poultry, of which are a great part is clue to worms which are harbored in the intestinal tract and other vital organs. The writer of this article has made a close study of the subject, and experiment ed with drugs and means of ridding fowls of these pests. Some of the re sults of his investigations follow: The tube which extends from the throat to the lungs is commonly called the windoipe. Its scientific term is the trachea. As a result of worms in the trachea a condition may develop which is called gapes, so called be cause the bird in its later stages gasps tor air by extending its head high into the air with mouth open. True and False Gapes There are many causes for. gapes, such as pieces of cracked corn or other particles of food being sucked down the tracheal opening in the throat during the process of swallow ing. Examine the throat of a bird and you will see a long slit open and shut at the upper end of the larynx, or box at the upper end of the windpipe. There is no covering to this air opening as in mammals, hence it is not so well protected when the food passes over it to the gullet or esophagus. Consequently, if the bird chokes or gasps a small particle of food may find its way into the upper part of the windpipe and thus obstruct the free passage of air We once found a whole grain of corn lodged in the upper part of the wind pipe of a fowl. When the windpipe becomes ob structed it is difficult for the air to pass and the bird gasps. Obviously, this is not due to worms. And since the condition due to worms is called gapes, we call this other gasping false gapes. There is a worm, the male of which is round, white in color and about one-fourth inch long, and the female is about one and one-fourth nches long, which find their way into the windpipe and cause true gapes. I hese two worms arc usually attach ed, making a Y-shaped looking worm but which, as just stated, is reallv two distinct individuals. Many of these worms may invade a single trachea and cause serious trouble. TIov the Worms Spread When filled with mature eggs the female worm is coughed out of the trachea, or the chick dies and the worms then decay, and finally the eggs or minute worms are freed upon the ground. These are devoured bv earthworms, which are in turn eaten by the young chicken, and the bird is infested. Only young birds are seriously affected by gapeworms old birds appear proof against them At thCy d ° not ~roduct; serious Earthworms taken into the stomach of the chick are digested, and the minute worms (Syngamus trachealis) are liberated. It must be remember ed that all dead tissue is digested by the stomach fluids, but the live worms are so constituted that these secretions have no ill effects nnnn them. The liberated worms now bore their way through the wall of the stomach and finally become located in the trachea. They attacli themselves in clusters to the wall of the trachea. Their heads ure provided with suc tion discs by which they hold on. The head parts are equipped with micro scope membraneous teeth that wound the surface to ,-hlch they are at tached and suck the blood. As the worms grow the mass becomes larg ei. At first perhaps they cause no inconveniences, later they induce grave symptoms and death. As each worm grows the air passage gradu ally becomes obstructed and the bird finds breathing more and more dif ficult. Threatened with suffocation the bird extends its head into the air and gasps. The chick then stand around "drooped." feathers ruffled, sleepy, listless, finally comb, wattles and face turn purple and the poor creature dies. When Gapes Get Into the Flock Ground that is infested by these worms cannot be used successfully for rearing young chicks. The soil should be plowed crops raised upon it. Move all chick quarters.

Sometimes the following method relieves the victim. It may be pos sible to feel the lump in the wind pipe, and if so, take a large feather, strip all the barbs, except the tip. Dip this lip in kerosene, grasp the bird, open its mouth and pass the leather down the windpipe past the lump of worms, twist and withdraw l ie feather, endeavoring to dislodge the worms. Vonus Found l?i the Intestines rhere are two kinds of worms com monly found in the intestines, and they have been found in SO per cent, of the birds examined in tilts labora- These are round worms and ribbon-sha|>eil worms, or tapeworms Some people think that a tapeworm consumes food, but this is not so. If we examine a tapeworm under a microscope we find that they have no intestinal tract or mouth at all. ■hey attach themselves to the lining of the liisf portion of the intestines and 11 oat back in the intestinal tract among the digesting food, where they absorb digested nutrients. This is one reason why fowls infested with these worms are poor and demaciated. This absorption is accomplished by the worm in much the same manner as ttie absorption by the intestines , rhe tapeworm attaches itself to the lining ol the intestines by means of an apparatus consisting of four suck ers and a cluster of hooks, arranged ,n a double circle between the suek t,le aill of il lense we lind hat back ol the head ol' the worm there is a short, smooth neck which is followed by segments.
